Dave Martinez Quotes

You need to have a can-do attitude. There is always a way.

A good attitude is really important. And a sense of optimism, someone who has ideas and isn't afraid to pitch them no matter what level she is. Someone who is proactive. Someone with efficiency and common sense. They don't always go hand-in-hand, common sense and, well, everything else.

Your problem isn't the problem, it's your attitude about the problem.

Just do the best with what you have, and you'll soon be doing it better.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Turning a negative into a positive is an expressway to success.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.

Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. When faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus.

Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
